Bookmarking this page on Ada Lovelace for later from my busy month notes

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 2 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the recipe for a while.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

The vibe here is immaculate. The everyday customs are often the best part of travel.

I wonder how much of this depends on timing. The social part surprised me too. History gets easier to understand when you can place it on a street.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about lovelace. The awkward constraint is probably the real story. Public transit stories are secretly sociology stories.
